    The first time we have been out of the Football League since we joined over seventy years ago. The first time we don’t own our own stadium. The first time we don’t own our own land. The first time we haven’t been in the first round proper of the FA Cup. Last season the first time the matchday programme was cancelled. The first time ever we couldn’t take our own drinks flask into our stadium. The first time ever the club is being run by an invisible chairman and board of directors. The first time ever that the team isn’t good enough to play in the Football League. Could go on and on. This is the tenure of SWANN.

    And the first time in 70 years that I have no interest in considering going to watch the team.

    First time at Glanford Park that there’s no scoreboard. First time that I don’t wear my Scunny hat with a sort of defiant pride at being one of the chosen few. Any more?

    The FIRST time the clubs owner stated verbally and in a written statement that.

    ” When we leave this club we will leave it better off financially than when we took over “.

    So there we have it Mr Swanns own words, no misunderstanding a GUARANTEE. And as he is a professional and one assumes honourable businessman it will be HONOURED. Unless of course…..

    The last time we didn’t make it to the 1st round proper was 50/51 season, and you’ve always been allowed to take Food and drinks in, unless of course you come up against some jumped up little prat. Fail to see where the Guarantee is?

    not sure about the first time we haven’t had a scorecard, I don’t think we had one in the first season at GP, I could be wrong.

    With it not being an owner funded scoreboard can the half time logo change to “SWANN OUT”, I’m sure the majority of the home fans would all sing along in unison. Some great half time entertainment at last, the spinning around a pole then falling on the floor like a dopey twat has worn a little thin over the years, although the majority of the first team tend to play like that.

    It was Swanns ruling Awaywego. He said you couldn’t take your food and drink into the stadium and the stewards on the turnstiles werent allowing fans to take any in making fans drink theirs before entering the stadium.Yes Sanfran49 those were the very words Swann uttered at one of the early forums when he was spouting absolute rubbish the trouble is some fans believed him. We didn’t we saw straight through his lies and bull. Unless of course he does give the stadium, land and assets back to our Club where they belong.

    With the present team and management, I would think that probably a few fans would gladly pay at the turnstile to get out!!!!

    No you haven’t always been allowed, just because you somebody has managed to get with them doesn’t mean they are allowed to do it!

    Pat O’Cake this is the second time you have quoted me of writing things that I haven’t said, you did it last week on another thread, I never wrote “and you’ve always been allowed to take Food and drinks in” you find where I said it because you will find it was awaywego who said that, and last week you did something similar when it was the person above me who posted it so check your facts please, I use our outlet about twice a year and in a winter I sometimes take a small flask.

    Plenty of evil spirits around GP these days.

    Perhaps we should get an exorcist in!

    Pat, easiest thing to do is use the ‘quote’ function rather than copy and pasting. That way you’ll quote the right person instead of Mick, and prevent winding him up mate.

    No doubt a working scoreboard will push up the price for the legion of potential buyers.

    “the legion of potential buyers.”

    You need to read all the words, not just pick one out

    Apparently we didn’t have a scoreboard when we first arrived at Glanford Park. Apologies to Mr Swann. Memory a bit dickie.
    Still can’t muster my old sense of pride at wearing the club badge on my ‘bobble hat’ though. It feels like a golden chain stretching back over 60 years has somehow been tarnished and then broken.

    When that ‘no food or drink taken in’ rule was first implemented there was still a corner kiosk opening both inside and outside the ground. I bought a tea and went towards the turnstile. This young steward nervously told me I couldn’t take the drink in. I told him where I had bought it one minute before. I pointed out that I could have gone in and bought it on the other side. Still wouldn’t let me in. I had three choices. Drink it outside. Nope. Take it back to the kiosk and have them pass it to me when I got in. Maybe … but nope. I kicked off til the Senior Steward came .. and let me in. It didn’t make me feel loved, appreciated and valued as a customer I can tell you.

    All I did was highlight the quote and click quote, not my fault if the site quotes the wrong person, and I certainly didn’t mention you at any point in my post, so maybe get YOUR facts right before you get your panties in knot next time?

    I didn’t copy & paste mate, I just highlighted the quote and clicked on quote, don’t know why it came up as MM had posted it?
